Mud N. (mudndawilderness):
Well, the last time I sent a confessional was before the rock draw and I am SO HAPPY with the results. Alan leaving gives me much more control in this game, giving my side numbers and blowing up Noah's game for me. Like I said, almost all alliance members have said they wanted to go to the end with me, and hopefully that's true because it speaks volumes for my social game. If I had to choose someone that had to leave the rock draw, Alan would've been my last pick from the other side, since we had a deal to keep each other safe. However, I'm happy that it wasn't me or one of my allies. Beggars can't be choosers.
Brittany leaving was kinda boring tbh, besides the fact that Jay and Jake decided to hurt their games by making "fake" fights, going to the other side, saying they'll flip, then saying "It's just a prank bro" and voting for Brit. We also made that fake chat and jay sent it to them, all things I felt were a bit extra but brings the target off of me and onto Jay and Jake so hey that's a plus. Push my agenda without getting blood on my hands.
Right after Brittany left, Absol went to me and threw jake under the bus HARD. Of course, I already knew everything he was saying, so I just went back to Jake and told him what absol told me, and that he's throwing jake under the bus hard. Out of everyone in the alliance, Jake is probably the one I have the least control over, so I just thought I'd secure him one step further. For the Noah vote, I came up with the plan for Jay to use Athena and Jake to stand by and play his idol if needed. So I went to them individually at first, then had them bring it up to the group so I don't seem controlling, saying "i don't want them to think we're super close so you go tell them". The plan worked even though we really could've just voted Noah off and had the same results LOL. But man did I fuck up by sending my vote to Noah originally. Because of it I have my FIRST VOTE EVER IN M&NS.... it's the end of the world. Jk it's not a huge deal, I just can't use that as an argument if I make FTC. But a lot more happened this round with god powers as well, including jay being a fucking beast and beating Jordan after Jordan challenged him... giving us another extra vote to throw away in case of a double idol play. Noah also made quite the spectacle on the way out, exposing my masterlist-o-god/goddess-powers (TM) which is actually quite small now that it's just me Marto and Garret LOL. He also exposed garret's idol, something that will help us in the future.
But now I'm hanging onto this pole, trying to win an online game at 1:00 in the morning. I want Garret out the most, and I want to split the vote to get rid of that idol, but it's too risky because of that damn Poseidon. So I need this immunity in order to widen the options for us, lowering the chances that Garret uses the idol correctly. I also want immunity because I want to prove to others and the jury that I care about this game, and what better way to show that than an endurance comp? Additionally I am still a little scared of the idols and powers of the minority, and it never hurts to have too much protection, right kids?
So yeah, as long as everyone stays loyal, and nothing gets fucked up by any idols or whatnot, I should be good. But anything can and will go wrong in Survivor. I need to stay aware of the signs of a potential blindside, handle advantages like I'm defusing a fucking bomb, and keep social connections with as many people as I can, without breaking them too early. I have a f3 alliance with Brandon and Marto, Jay brought up a f3 with Jake, and I'm really close to Rhett as well. It seems like I'm in a pretty good position in this game from my perspective, I'm sure there's some shady shit going on behind the scenes that I'm unaware of lol. But if anyone wants to come after me, I can duel them, 1v1 me mate.
